Aunt Becky, aka Lori Laughlin, and her husband whoever, pled guilty in the college admissions scandal. Under terms of the agreement, Lori will spend 2 months in jail, pay a 150,000 fine, and agree that all future bribes to colleges will be done the normal way – paying the university directly to put their name on the side of a building.What? Do you really think George W. Bush got into Yale because of his SATs?
Also, Michael Cohen has been released from prison and is allowed to spend the duration of his prison term in his NY apartment. No word yet if this should be viewed as punishment or reward. Being from the Midwest, being cooped up in a NY apartment is not my idea of a good time. But apparently, he was released because of the cornovirus. According to the news report, Cohen is 53, in great health, and so is in a high risk category. I am assuming sarcasm should be read into this report.
It's time for … our Darwinian awards. I am assuming you all are familiar with the Darwinian Awards Concept. Charles Darwin devised this theory roughly called, "survival of the fittest." Natural selection. The idea is that over time, the strong will survive, the weak get eliminated. Apparently, Darwin would not be allowed into schools today as I am not sure "participation trophies" fit too well within this theory. The dodo bird can't re-emerge because it tried real hard.
But if this theory were applied to the legal profession, we have some awards to give out to those who will soon be departing. Yes, the weakest among us. Consider it, your participation trophy. Those lawyers who have demonstrated by their utter lack of legal acumen and common sense, that their days in the legal profession will soon be coming to an end.
So I accumulated well over 100 stories of lawyers deserving to be considered for these awards. And we cover many of these stories in my class.
But today, I want us to cover the top 3. So I have come up with my top 3. And Mackenzie, has her top 3. We have not compared notes. So let's see how we compare. Plus we'll be reviewing the movie, The Firm in this week's De-Briefing the Law.

We've transformed all of our continuing legal education courses so they are now available in both webinar and online formats. While we look forward to live events again in the future, we want to provide solutions for the current work environment.
